RE: illegal to descriminate against small business in a capitalist society

This is typical kind of anti-competitive law which undermines the small or mainly sole traders.

What about multi-nationals who filter billions in unpaid tax away!

Anything that hampers with paperwork and bureacracy or stops small business growing, eventually into large corporations, is seriously damaging to the Capitalist system.

Large companies tend to fade and fold eventually as part of the business cycle to be replaced by new companies grown from small traders.

If your large businesses keep "hanging around" year after year you know you have a monopolistic system where competion is cleverly and subtley crushed (often with colusion of The State). For example banking.

Conditions for all business, great or small should be the same, and this incudes tax and tax evasion regulation.

MS management in denial blames the customers for it's own failings, primarily amongst them is massive over-charging for licences and designed-in software incompatibility with the rest-of-the-world-even to the extent 50% cant even get email with the new tablet.

Barclays bank baulked at the licence fees and is going 100% Open Source to save £billions that MS would have had a slice off. And large companies using MS in the Cloud is laughable as the licence fees would be astronomical and unnecessary in the Cloud era.

MS should realise there is no chargeable premium for MS products like there is was Apple, and they should stop skimming customers. They are so lost, it is laughable. Their time is over as a huge dominant company

-get over it.

MS need to become a 100% Cloud Company fast or slip out of the top 10 into the top 100.

And the dolts blame the customers!!

Often, these proprietal protocols are just another wheeze to ease coin from the dumb clients.

If you are gullable, go for it-but prepare for the day when you will be peniless and unemployed while the big corps count their money and care....nothing.
